U.S., Soviets to sign SALT II in June
i __
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United
States and the Soviet Unionhave
reached basic agreement on a new
treaty to limit strategic nuclear
weapons, and the pact will be signed at
a June summit meeting in Europe, ac-
cording to administration sources.
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance is ex-
pected to make the formal announ-
cement on the treaty this afternoon at
the White House.
Vance met briefly late yesterday with
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin
to put final touches on the agreement, a
meeting that lasted only seven minutes.
HODDING CARTER, the State
Department spokesman, said Vance
described the session as "an excellent
one" "
But administration sources said
while the treaty itself was nailed down,
further negotiations were needed to set-
tle on a 'precise time and place for
President Carter and Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev to sign the arms con-
trol accord.
Later in the week, if agreement is
reached on the specific date and site for
a summit meeting between President
Carter and Soviet President Leonid
Brezhnev, that will be announced
separately.
THE SOVIETS are understood to
have proposed the summit be held in
Helsinki, Finland. Other so-called
neutral cities under consideration are
Vienna, Austria; Stockholm, Sweden;
and Geneva, Switzerland.
Vance told reporters on Capitol Hill
that he and Dobrynin "have discussed
in preliminary fashion the possible
locations of a summit and, in addition,
the date of a summit, but nothing has
been finalized."
The strategic arms limitation treaty,
SALT II, will impose restrictions on
U.S. and Soviet long-range bombers
and intercontinental ballistic missiles
through 1985. The accord has been un-
der negotiation for nearly seven years.
THIS YEAR alone, Vance and
Dobrynin held 25 negotiating sessions
at the State Department. Their talks on

patient counselling with every new
prescription. Patients usually don't un-
derstand the medication," he added,
and doctors don't always have the time
to explain how the medication is to be
taken. If the physician has already
given the patient instruction, the phar-
macists's counselling "acts as a rein-
forcement," he said.
Dan Hunter of Collins Drugs became
a pharmacist in 1960. He said, "There
has been a change in what they're
(pharmacy schools) teaching. The
change will be slow in coming in."
Patient counselling, said Hunter,
"benefits us business-wise and it
benefits patients. A lot of doctors are
too busy to completely explain (the
medication)."
Hunter said continuing education
courses should "very definitely" be
implemented in the annual license
renewal.
"A change like this doesn't happen
overnight," said another Ann Arbor
pharmacist who attended the sym-
posium. "Both roles (those of phar-
macists and physicians) are changing
and we have to learn to work
toghether."
